Congratulations, Will!
For your mention on engadget!
"Combining elements of alternate reality gaming, podcasting and geocaching, location33 is a game that requires players to wander the streets of Culver City, California, looking for musical clues that will allow them to piece together a sci-fi story involving a robot that wants to put out a record for Sony Music. The developer, Will Carter, put the game together as a thesis for his degree in Interactive Media at the USC School of cinema and TV. We’re not sure whether he’s angling for a job with Sony, or added the label for a greater degree of verisimilitude. Regardless, if you’re one of those rare individuals who actually walks in L.A., now you have something interesting to do while you wander."

reading this again, the getting-a-job-at-sony part cracks me up for a number of reasons, mostly because I've sort of have / had a job at Sony, and also that I'm not sure that Sony would actually like the fact that the main "character" is a sort of disreputable robot who is the CEO of sony...
